Tajh Boyd

As much as I want T Boyd and Bryce Brown, I don't think we get either of them. Brown said he loved Clemson, but has said many times that he refuses to go anywhere we he might have to play vs his brother. I don't know why he bothered making the visit in the 1st place. As far as Boyd goes, I think we got on him too late. From everything I've read/heard and from people in the know, it sounds like Oregon might win out for Tajh and even Bryce Brown said in 2 different interviews this week that Oregon is his favorite right now. After watching the holiday Bowl last week, and Oregon get as high as num 2 last year before losing Dennis Dixon...I can see why kids would want to go there. Especially RB's. They have a lethal ground attack and kids seem to take to those state of the art unis. I hope we get both or even one of them, but it is starting to sound like they are looking West.

Boyd had scheduled us for this weekend and that gave us a great shot. But unless he makes the trip between now and Feb. 4th, he's going to Ohio State or Oregon. Too bad, he has the best shot at early playing time with Clemson.

Good for Richt. He's got some talent, but probably wouldn't have ever seen the field for Clemson. He deserves a chance to play. I also like what Swinney is doing. We do this same sort of thing for our high school football, not naming units 1, 2, 3, etc.

Right, because the spring game is the end all for every position battle?
You obviously never played football, there's still plenty of spring practice to go, then they'll have to practice early in the fall as well. Its far from decided, but if I had to put money on it, Korn will be the starter in our first game. They'll both play, though.

I never said that the Spring Game was the deciding factor, Parker has not even had the same amount of practice time as the other players and in the 3 scrimmages so far he has not thrown an INT, and has thrown for 4 OR 6 TDS (I read it and know its one of those but can't remember for sure.) We may also lose Parker to the MLB draft before next season but Dabo says that won't factor in the decision for this years starter. Korn was obviously a product of the system at Byrnes and that is showing more than ever now if he does somehow win the starter job there is no way he will keep it all season, in the long run Boyd is the answer and I'm still not sure he will redshirt this year, if he can somehow outdo Parker he may be the starter before the season is over.

I promise Korn will start and Boyd will redshirt. It would be stupid to waste a year of eligibility on him, he needs to focus on getting his knee 100%. I don't think Korn has been given a fair shot yet, so I'm not sure how we can deduce that he's a product of the system at Byrnes.
